Broadcast Sports Inc. (BSI) recently helped SPEED capture nearly 40 hours of dynamic coverage from the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, AZ. The auction, the first of four that will be held across the U.S., sprawled out over 16 acres and encompassed more than 700,000sq ft of total tented space. The BSI team provided SPEED with expert RF and communications services that allowed the network to deliver seamless coverage of the tents, buildings and outdoor display areas.

The Barrett-Jackson events involve the simultaneous coverage of multiple points across an expansive indoor and outdoor environment. BSI’s proprietary equipment and personnel address the complexities of this scenario and are able to produce a strong, reliable, and consistent wireless signal environment throughout each event. The resulting infrastructure allows multiple audio and video components the flexibility to roam the grounds and capture compelling footage of each car from almost any angle.

Touted as the world's most prestigious and anticipated collector car auctions, the Scottsdale auction remained true to its reputation by attracting more than 270,000 attendees and generating more than $92 million in sales. The three remaining Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auctions will air live on SPEED.

The FAA’s current rules and proposed ban on flight over people, requirement of visual line of sight and restriction on nighttime flying, effectively prohibit broadcasters from using UAS for newsgathering. ~ WMUR-TV General Manager Jeff Bartlett
